Holly J. Richards (AKA 'Tarento')

I am a diagnosed body dysmorphic, obsessive-compulsive and clinical depressive who enjoys spending most of my time in a small and impeccably organised attic room trying to create illustrations amidst an ongoing battle with chronic perfectionism.

I pride myself on my habit of using particularly extensive grammar and frequently enjoy reading the dictionary to learn about odd words; I like hospitals, pathological crime thriller novels, and medical documentaries on Channel 4.

I have a thing for flourescent colours, cute cartoon characters, and belly buttons.
Words that people often use to describe me include 'Articulate', 'Quirky', and 'Nutjob'. =)

Current Residence: England
Favourite genre of music: old-skool R'n'B/ funk/ electronica
Favourite style of art: illustration & comics/ animation/ graffiti & street art
Favourite cartoon character: Yami Yugi (although not a fangirl fave)
Interests
yet another apology for being away so long. i dearly love DA, and i'm on here all the time, but i guess it doesn't mean much if i don't ever upload anything :< i'm sorry!

my illustration course is totally kicking the tar out of me right now (i've had approximately 2 emotional breakdowns in the last... 3 months?) so i'm either busy doing work for that, or busy not doing work for it when i should be, which makes me feel too guilty to do anything else. except sleep. but even that's been giving me trouble recently, since my medication has been kicked up (not surprisingly)..

anyway about the only thing that's been keeping me happy and joyful inside (apart from the prozac!) is the new series of Adventure Time, and the new comics of it that i managed to get hold of. i'm a total nerd for this show and i've been stewing over some fanart for weeks, but i think i'm about to boil over so tonight may be a long one. i've got some coffee ready to go and a new album to keep me going! who knows what'll happen!

oh, and my end of year show is coming up in a few weeks and i'm FREAKING. OUT. seriously if my family weren't blackmailing me with guilt into staying on, i would've fled the scene months ago. but i guess i'm doing this thing. big sigh. at least it's finally getting into summer, that always makes me feel awesome. gotta stay positive!

I like to use traditional methods rather than computer
